14 Mar 2011 Evaluate

The country's largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki India expects to achieve the feat of producing a crore vehicle for the second time in the next 6-7 years with the opening of its two new plants at Manesar. The company is likely to cross the milestone of producing the first one crore vehicles since its inception on March 15, nearly 27 years since it first rolled out M800 from Gurgaon.

The company had announced an investment of over Rs 3,625 crore to set up two new plants with 2.5 lakh annual capacities each inside the Manesar facility. At present, MSI, which is 54.2% owned by Suzuki Motor Corporation (SMC), has an annual capacity of 8.5 lakh units at its Gurgaon plant, while Manesar can produce 3.5 lakh units annually, with the overall capacity totalling to 12 lakh units per year.

The carmaker had ramped up production by about 10% to over 1.1 lakh units every month from October 2010, taking its total annual output to 14 lakh units for 2011-12. Since it rolled out the first M800 on December 14, 1983, the company is set to cross one crore production mark next week.crackcrack
